[architecture] Saving every intermediate thought and tool output to long-term memory

Implement an explicit reflection or extraction step before writing to long-term memory. Only persist synthesized insights, resolved errors, and key entity states, discarding raw conversational scaffolding.

Journey Context:
Naive agents log every AgentAction or Observation to the vector store. This causes write amplification and retrieval pollution—when the agent searches later, it retrieves useless 'I am thinking about X' or raw API responses instead of actionable knowledge. The tradeoff is added LLM calls for reflection vs. storage/retrieval noise. The right call is paying the upfront cost of an LLM summarization/extraction call to compress the interaction into a dense memory object before persisting.
